Chambrelan UK Set to launch Linear Motion Brand

There's a spring in Chambrelan UK's step this year as the company announces a new linear rail brand to complement their existing telescopic slide range.  Although the Chambrelan have been manufacturing linear rail motion systems now for over 50 years, it's the first time that the UK arm will launch a stand alone brand, allowing customers to buy directly from their new online store, which will be open in the next month.

We caught up with Jeremy Binnington, Director of Chambrelan UK, who has given us his appraisal of the new brand what the reasons for launching the new company.  "Having re-established ourselves in the  telescopic slide market, we realised we can deliver the same quality product and service to the linear rail market, which compliments our existing offer perfectly."

With new premises now open, Chambrelan UK now stock a range of linear rail for lighter, medium and heavy duty applications.

"We're currently stocking aluminium, steel and stainless steel products," confirms Jeremy, "and their relevant carriers.  By bringing them to the UK we will be able to service customer enquiries that much quicker and with a tight stock programme which will carry four lengths of rail we can improve delivery times dramatically.  In addition because the new site is fully operational, we'll be able to make bespoke items for more specialised requirements."

Although not up and running yet, the new website will feature an e-commerce shop, a case study page with testimonials and customer projects, product availability and full details and load capacities of each of our products.

"We'll be sending out a release with the launch date very soon," confirms Jeremy.

We'll look forward to it.

Chambrelan Heavy Duty Slides: Better Protection

Due to the WEEE Directive of 2007 certain heavy metal finishes had to be removed from our heavy duty slides and linear rails, forcing the industry to change their protection.  Chambrelan now use a chrome free white zinc plate.

This plate is now provided as the standard Chambrelan finish across the whole range of products utilising carbon steel sections that are produced and refined on site at Chambrelan's Le Havre factory.  The benefits of this system include improved corrosion resistance, amounting to 480 hours of protection against the salt spray test (see pics) before appearance of white rust (more than 5% of surface), which means Chambrelan have more than doubled the amount of protection at no extra cost to the customer.  This treatment also improves the protection of the appearance of red rust, by roughly 12% – from 600 hours to 672.

The zin plating also adds structural strength to the slide, providing extra rigidity and making them more ruggedised than ever before.  As a company Chambrelan is dedicated to continually improving their range of products, whether it's introducing new slides or improving on their most popular designs and a huge amount of investment has been made in the drawing, refining, cleaning, annealing and machining of their slides, which all combine to improve the life expectancy of the slide, whilst maintaining a competitive price point.

Chambrelan Heavy Duty Slides Used Down Under

Multi-drive technology, the leading Australia manufacturer of multi-drive vehicles, has recently announced a collaboration with Chambrelan UK.  The order, which comes from Rio Tinto, one of the largest mining companies in the world.  Commissioned to carry out rail maintenance on a 400 kilometre line in one of the most extreme desert climates in the world, namely the Pilbara Region of North Western Australia, these vehicles needed to carry enough equipment to manage the long haul.

Using a seriously beefed up Land Cruiser - the MDT 5750kg GVM Model with 2500kg load capacity, boasts another drive axle and uses a torque management power divider, making it able to tackle the most extreme conditions without any wind-ups or spinning of axles, even when it's carrying 2.5tons.

In addition the vehicles will be carrying specialised lightweight custom built trailers, which have been tailor made to store the right equipment.  Using Chambrelan heavy duty slides and linear rails these trailers are packed with tool boards, storage draws and compartments each carrying vital engineering equipment.
